Defra approved stoves have been tested and proved to produce very little smoke, they also pass strict emissions tests and meet the government's Clean Air Act requirements.

These stoves can be filled with wood or manufactured fuels like coal and peat. These stoves can usually burn both types of fuel more efficiently than traditional wood burners. This is largely due to the design of a multi fuel stove has been optimized to to burn a range of different fuels. The grate of a stove that is raised designed to burn different fuels is typically designed to allow air circulation underneath the fuel. This is due to the fact that certain fuels like peat and turf briquettes need lots of air beneath for them to ignite and burn properly. Most multi-fuel stoves have a secondary airflow that can be opened or shut according to the type of fuel. This will help keep the fire burning by providing an additional supply air to the stove. It also helps improve the combustion efficiency. The primary and secondary air flow systems in the stove can be utilized to adjust the flame height and the temperature of the fire. This is important because different fuels burn at different rates, and produce different amounts of heat. By keeping the flame's size and temperature in check, you can ensure that your stove operates at its most efficient level while producing the highest amount of heat. You should also remove the ash from your stove regularly, and store it in a bucket or ash pan. This will prevent the accumulation of too much ash on the stove's grates, and also hinder your fuel from burning properly. To avoid discoloration, you should clean the glass of your stove regularly.

A Defra-approved stove will typically have an automatic fuel feed and an air supply control, to ensure that the fire burns efficiently.

If you live in a zone of smoke control, it is crucial to use an Defra approved stove to ensure you comply with regulations and avoid paying hefty fines for burning illegally.

The pellets, comprised of sawdust or other wood products that were rejected, are an eco friendly alternative. The stoves include a hotplate as well as an oven, so they can also be used for cooking. They usually have a bigger flue outlet than the standard 6” (150mm) however they are still compatible with 5” (125mm) liner for safety reasons. This is a great alternative when it's hard to install a 6” (150mm) or if the chimney has a few odd bends. Energy Efficiency The combustion of fuels in a multifuel fireplace creates heat that is distributed to the room. It does this via radiation, which is when the hot surface of the stove reflects heat into the room or through convection, where it draws cold air in from outside, heats it up and then directs it back to the room. Modern multifuel stoves are designed to achieve the highest efficiency, and use secondary and third air supply to minimize emissions and to burn fuel efficiently.

Its larger size lets it be able to fit into chimneys with larger openings. The airwash system keeps the glass interior free of soot.
